Booth Radiology taps IDC for DR contract

Booth Radiology Associates has purchased two 1600 Plus X-Series DR systems from Imaging Dynamics Company (IDC) to complete its transition to digital imaging. The systems will be installed in two of the clinic’s full-service sites, located in Washington Township and Woodbury, N.J.

Booth is in the final stages of upgrading all of its imaging systems to digital technology. Upgrading from analog x-ray to DR allows the facilities to store, manage and retrieve x-ray images within the PACS that interconnects Booth’s three locations, according to Calgary, Alberta-based IDC.
